Your Favorite Place To Visit

Anywhere that I don't have to be near a phone.

Not to worry.. it won't ring here!

The Ice Bar on the side of a mountain in Crested Butte, Colorado in the month of January.
 
We have a number of national parks nearby - Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, etc. - and they're spectacular, but the area we really enjoy is the Blue Ridge country of western and southern Virginia. Love the scenery, the greenery, and the wineries!
 
Starved Rock State Park near Utica IL. The trails are great and there are several small water falls. Illinois RailRoad Museum near Union IL , certain days you can ride on some of the trains.
 
I'm still looking for my favorite place. In the meantime, I'll take the hammock in the back yard or a blanket on the grass anywhere peaceful.
 
By myself: Mt. St. Helens. A 3 hour drive from here.

With my wife: Vegas!

Smoky Mountains in E. TN and W. NC. Especially Cade's Cove and Cherohala Skyway during fall colors(any time actually). I am convinced that if God doesn't live there he surely visits often.

We have a son in Idaho and visit him often. Using his place as home base we have gone North to Glacier/Waterton, East to Yellowstone/Tetons/Cody, South to Utah and Nevada (even to the Grand Canyon), and West to Lake Tahoe/Yosemite/Redwood and the California/Oregon Coast. All of these places are spectacular. He was very thoughtful in choosing a place to settle down. We love it.
 
That's where I grew up and then worked for 20 years. Good choice!

My good friend Milt wanted his ashes spread in the Pecos wilderness area.
And that's exactly what he got. We just had a little DD 214 discussion in another thread. We had Milt's DD 214 handy but he didn't want to be buried in the Santa Fe cemetery.
He wanted to go to the Pecos and that's exactly what he got.
 
Not sure. we'll have to ask Beaver Islander about that. I haven't been up there in a few years. I need to get back for a visit. Is that the stone grill south of St. James?

I just checked online. Here's the link to the place.....

Stoney Acre Grill & Donegal Danny's Pub

Been a few years since I was there myself. I was on the island for a couple of weeks putting a roof on for a friend. Beautiful island. Driving around the south end beach was almost New England-ish. Sailed out there a few years back too on a race from Little Traverse Bay. Between the two trips I think I've seen everything there was to see on it but they're the kind of things you don't mind seeing twice. Did you fly over or take the ferry?
